National Security Archive

British and French officials discussed Soviet security concerns in the same atmosphere.

The National Security Archive later described this as a cascade of assurances.

But here is the trap.

Assurances are not treaties.

Even Acoustic Kitty, the program that was supposedly discontinued by the CIA in 1967, we have documents showing from 69, for example, that some version of it existed.

We know into the 70s, because of documents available at the National Security Archive in Washington, D.C., that versions of bird programs and cat programs existed into that period.

One of the things that's really interesting is that one of the people who was involved in animal behavior systems, Robert Bailey, who had a history with the Navy's marine mammal program before joining U.S., ABE, stated that the only reason the work that they were doing with animals stopped was because of the church committee hearings that took place in the mid-70s.

He doesn't state specifically why it stopped, but the implication that I took is that the CIA did not want, you know, the Senate to find this out.

And for people who say that the promises not to expand NATO have been debunked, well, I have rebunked them completely thoroughly in my book, and no critic can stand against the evidence that I have marshaled there.

And most of it is all just thanks to the actual records published at the National Security Archive at George Washington University.

Anybody can read the original documents with their own eyes and see the multiple, more than 20 reassurances by the Americans, Germans, British, and French that we absolutely will not take advantage in the most broad senses, H.W. Bush himself said, we will not take advantage if you'll let the Warsaw Pact states go.

And so they absolutely screwed them.

Then, in August 2013, the Central Intelligence Agency released a history of its U-2 and Oxcart aircraft programs.

The National Security Archive, a research library at George Washington University, had requested it under the Freedom of Information Act.

an earlier release had blacked out every mention of the place, the new version restored them, and the name Area 51 appeared in an official agency document.

So, what is confirmed? That the site exists, that it was used to test the U-2 and other secret aircraft, and that British officials took part in the U-2 effort.

For decades, that word was TPAJAX, the code name of an operation in Iran in 1953.

In 1981, in response to a lawsuit, the Central Intelligence Agency released a heavily edited version of its internal history of the events, with every mention of the operation removed.

In August 2013, on the 60th anniversary, the National Security Archive published a revised version, and the references were back.

The history describes the coup that removed Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh as carried out under CIA direction, as an act of American foreign policy.

The Declassified History.

Edited by Jeffrey T. Richelson and Michael L. Evans in the National Security Archive Electronic Briefing Book No. 16, published June 1, 1999.

Before getting into this, I would just like to note that this article references many sources, about 35 of them in fact, which I will not be quoting directly, but I will link to them all in the show notes.

Part 1.

It's a 30-page document.

You can get it from National Security Archive.

And if you read it closely, they basically reveal that they admit the CIA and MI6 admit that they will use BBC as propaganda to tell the lies that, and they're gonna carry out false flags, that they co-opted Iranians on the ground in the government, whoever they could, I think it was like one general and so forth.

And then they, CIA MI6 launched attacks on mosques in Tehran and said that Mosaddegh did it.
